At the request of The Tally
Nebrtskan. Dean T. J. Thompson
prepared a written statement
Thursday of bla view on the pro
hibition question aa a national
taaur. Hla attitude corresponds
to a great degree with those ex
pressed by Coaches Bible and

the United States senate. . At
the same time The Literary Dl

unofficial poll in whldb those who
disfavor prohibition are winning
. Dean Thompson doea not favor
any modification of the present
liquor enforcement laws. He also
voices the opinion of favoring: na
tlonaj enforcement In addition to
state enforcement because he be
lieves that Is the only way It
can become effective.
Text Is Given.
The entire text of bta statement
follows:
It has been my pleasure to re
aide In six different states and in
all save one, Kansas, liquor was
tsnld over the saloon bar. I lived
in New York, South Dakota,
Michigan, and Nebraska before
going to Kansas, whlcb baa been
a prohibition state for thirty-five
years, and waa greatly impressed
by the difference In the amount
of liquor consumer in mat state.
In fact, during- the four years
I spent In Kansas, I never saw a
person under the influence of
liquor; and while I waa there a
number of persons of about
twenty-five years of age told me
they bad never seen an intoxi
cated person.
New York Enforcement Better,
For eix years I Mved -to New
York state, which at that time
waa in Uie regime of local option.
While I am an advocate of state
rights and believe in the fullest
possible play of personal rights,
I know that It was a continuous
and bitter fight for the dry town
ships, . . counties, villages, and
countrysides to maintain a sem
blance of control over the liquor
situation. ' Persons living in these
same areas today tell me that the
situation is much better than it
was under local option.
I lived in Chicago before the
advent of prohibition and have
been there many, times since, and
if I can rely upon my observa
tions I must conclude that the use
of liquor in Chicago is much less
now than in the preprohibltion
days; at least, it is apparent
"Keeley Cure" Common.
In my early boyhood I lived In
South Dakota where there were
saloons. It was a common thing
to have certain of our neighbors
pointed out as having taken the
"Keeley cure" or as being away
taking this cure for habitual
alcoholism. In the past ten years
I have not heard of a single in
dividual taking this cure. In fact,

Lady Spring Gets
Chilly . Reception;
Advent It Heralded
"Ho! The springtime!" Shout It
joyfully with the poet even thougn
your chattering teeth spoil the ef
fect! Sboutlt loudly even wnuo
you wrap your winter coat about
you against the biting wind! The
mercury stood at 20 degrees this
morning and will not mount nigner
than 40 or 45 degrees by afternoon
but spring la here!
All romantic spirits, moreover,
should have kept vigil last night
to properly herald the official com
ing of spring at exactly 2:30 a. m.
For do we not have watch parties
in honor of the New Year? And
the New Year is only an immature
child who exacts tiresome resolu
tions while spring is a gracious
lady who bestows such gratifying
privileges.
The poor, overworked student
may now rightfully have an attack
of spring fever and slight his as
signments. "A young man's fancy"
iay roam as it will. Coeds may,
wi'h Just cause, write home a
touching plea for funds for a new
spring outfit If the plea falls to
touch the paternal pocketbook to
a sufficient extent, moth balls may
be shaken from the folds of last
year's models. The ambitious
scholar may cut down his con
sumption of kilowatts since Spring
ttas given day an "even break"
with the night. Ho! For the

Stars in Moving About With 'Carmen
BY MX WAGNER.
The literal antithesis of the fig

took place In the Coliseum, when
the floor was raised five feet in
order to Improve the building aa a

Carpenters commenced working
Monday to raise the floor and
completed the poh about 9 o'clock
Thursday. Nineteen thousand
squnre feet of lumber were used
In the construction.

Chain Store Connection
Is
Valuable,' Says Bizad
Professor.
Four men, on the average, visit
the campus weekly as representa
tives of large corporations, accord
ing to E. S. Fullbrock of the col
lege of business administration. It
is the duty of these men to inter
view students who are to graduate
this spring and try to interest
these graduates in employment
with the company they represent.
"As a rule these men approve
only a very few mfcn from any one
school and in reality the number
of men finally entering the em
ployment of any organization from
any school is very email, rroies
sor Fullbrock said.
A connection with any large cor
poration such as the chain stores,
tho rubber companies or any of
the many others whose agents
come to this campus yearly, is a
valuable one, according to Profes
sor Fullbrook.
"A graduate who does not have
any definite profession in which he
can get a satisfactory position
should consider himself fortunate
If he has an opportunity to join
one of these companies," Professor
Fullbrook said.
Such companies maintain their
schools in which these new em
ployes are trained so that they
may be more useful and better
equipped employes. This also gives
the men an insight as to the kind
of work he will be expected to do
so that he can better decide aa to
whether he will be willing to stay
in the employ of the organization
Indefinitely, and also give him the
training wh'ch will aid him in
gaining a higher position."

ally higher scholarship averages

than during the corresponding se
mester a year ago.
Young women students out

somewhat higher averages than
their non-sororlty sisters, wnne

URGE CONCERN JOBS
for the evening's performance.
The foreman of the stage crew was
forced to divide bla attention be
tween the stage and listening to
the rmonstiancea of a oikiuan
who bore the rara of battle on bla
face."
It seemed aa though the Irate
stage band had been involved In a
fistic encounter on the train en
route from Tulsa. The nerve strain
of moving about from place to
place with a train load of temper
mental people would aeem to coun
teract all the cultural effects of

E
- HECKLERS :M. RARE
Three t
Say
Faculty Members
This Type Is
Unusual.
Heckling students who stall for
tutte, attempt to V'catch the . In
structor" on something,' or try to
show their own superior knowl
edge by unnecessary questions are
rare, is the general consensus
among the instructors at the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
"I meet both of these types in
my classes,' occasionally, but they
j . 1 1 i
are unusual ana can uauauy m
discouraged," said Dr. Hattle Plum
Williams, head of the sociology de
partment. Mrs.' Williams believes
that the majority of questions that
are asked spring from an honest
desire to obtain knowledge. "I
think that not enough, rather than
too many, questions are asked,"
she added.
Such Students Are Rare.
"These students are compara
tively rare and are usually
squelched by the attitude of the
class," is the opinion of George
M. Darlington, instructor In econ
omics. Mr. Darlington says that
be encourages questions and that
his greatest difficulty is not with
students who ask too many ques
tions, but with those wno arent
Interested enough to care to ask
questions.
Prof. N. L. Hill, associate pro
fessor of political science, agreed
with the other Instructors that this
tvoe of student is unusual and
doesn't get very far with his
tics. "The instructor can usually
see through it," he said.

CROP OF 7,000
VIEWS GLORIOUS
OPERA
CARMEN
Third Annual Production by
Chicago Company Is
Presented.
WORDS SUNG IN FRENCH
Scene Laid in Spain; Maria
Olszewska and Miss
Mason Star.
Before a crowd of nearly 7.000.
the Chliago Civic Opera company
gave the university, Lincoln and
fouthcastern Nebra.ka Its third
annual lasti: of grand opera In the
presentation ot Bizet s colorful
'Carmen" at the Coliseum, Thurs
day night.
It was a glorious production
from the opening attains of tbe
overture to the last trBlc scene,
ending !n the death of the heroine,
Carmen.
Tbe setting for the opera waa
laid in Spain, although the words
were sung In French, because Bl
let, the composer, was a French
man. Maria Olszewska Plays Carmen.
The part of Carmen waa taken
by Maria Olszewska. (pronounced
Olchefskal. who portrayed tho
character of the vivacious and ca
pricious Spanish senorita remark
ably well with her rich flexible i
contralto voice.
Though the lead of lue opuia
properly went to Madame oi
szewska, It was almost snatched
away from her by Edith Mason
cast as Micaela, a peasant girl
Lincoln people remember Miss Ma
son as Marguerite in Faust, given
by the Chicago company at the
Coliseum last year. Her voice car
ried the same sweetness and lovely
mellowness that delighted local lis
teners last year.
The virile bull fighter. Esca
millo, was characterized by Gia
como Rimini extraordinarily well
Rimini displayed a florid baritone
and was also outstanding in his
stage acting.
Maison It Jose.
Jose, bewitched by Carmen who
later scorns bim and falls a vlo
Um to his Jealous stllleto, was por
trayed by Rene- - Matfon wnose
tenor arias delighted the packed
Coliseum.
Particularly interesting and well
done were the ballets one In the
third and one In the fourth acts.
Leading the dancers were the em
inent Harriet Lundgren and Ed'
ward Caton.
The chorus, which found the
Lincoln audience, no different from
all others, liked best the "Haban
era" in act I and the famous
Toreador" song in act II, pro
vided brightness and .color for the
opera, which otherwise might have
proved a little slow.
Audiences Liked Numbers.
Other numbers besides the "Ha
banera" and the "Toreador" which
pleased the audience were "Se
guidilla," sung by Carmen In the
first act; "Parle, Moot de Ma
Mere" by Jose and Micaela; and
the "Flower Song."
Especial note should be made of
the stage settings which were ex
ceptionally attractive. The first
act was laid outside a cigaret fac
tory in Spain, tbe second in a tav
ern, the third outside a smuggler's
cave, and the fourth near the arena
where a bull fight is under way.
Local talent shown forth in the
final act when university students,
out of step and apparently nervous
marched behind the soldiers chorus
of the opera company. Even these
company soldiers would scarcely

Plan to Get Into Closer

A plan whereby closer contact

board Wednesday night, it waa an
nounced. At each meeting of the
board, according to the plan, two
committee chairmen will be called
and details of the work falling to
those special committees will be

Members of the board believe
that this will promote a more pro

the respective committees last
year will also be called before the
board to aid in the discussion.
Committees work entirely ' too

MEN REVEAL PLANET
IN PECULIAR
Scientists Made Advanced
Calculations Says .
Prof. Swezey.
One of the most Interesting -
things about the new planet rer -.
ccntlv discovered by scientists, is-
the manner it was fouhd, according
to Trof. G. D. Swezey of the .
astronomy department. Peculiar
movements of Neptune, tne eignm
world, were noted some years ago
at the Lowell observatory in Ari ¬
zona.
Mathematical calculations . were ,
made of these movements . and .
from these it was drawn that when
Neptune reached a certain position
a new planet might be seen. This
position waa reached only a few
weeks ago and true to Professor
Lowell's prediction a new planet
was visible.
Larger Than Earth.
This planet is 6aid to be some
what larger than the earth but;
smaller than Neptune, according
to Professor Swezey. However. It
is so faint that it will be of little
use In ordinary studies.
The naming of the new world
will be another interesting thing.
Professor Swezey said. Professors
at Lowell's observatory are in
clined to name the new world after
Professor Lowell. This haa never
been done before and Professor
Swezey believes that astronomers
throughout tbe country will not
take kindly to this procedure. All
other planets have beer named
after some Greek goa and not
after their discoverers. .
